When Google launched Classroom so that teachers and students would have a repository for the work they were doing, the goal was to create something as simple as possible. The app has proved popular, but Google has just announced a refresh that adds some much-needed additional functionality.

A Classwork page is being introduced allowing teachers to organize assignments into modules and units. This frees up the Stream section to be used purely as a discussion board and should reduce clutter for both students and teachers.
